I really loved his performance as Scaramouch in Season 5 of Samurai Jack, now this was a truly unexpected performance from Tom, if not one of his best roles of the past couple of years. He was simply hilarious and stole every scene he was in, even if the character only appeared in 3 episodes, he made those episodes stand out simply being there. Evil Sammy Davis Jr. such a clever idea to base the character and personality on.

It was also nice to hear him as Wheelie again in Transformers: The Last Knight.

I met him at Alamo City Comic Con this past Saturday! He liked my impressions, and was surprised to learn that he has over 1,100 credits and that I remembered when he was on "Fun Day Night at the Movies" on TCM!

I've never seen anyone upload a video of it, but I distinctly remember that about 7 years ago (2009), there was an episode of The View where they talked about SpongeBob and how it was running for 10 years, and Tom Kenny happened to be in the audience.

They asked him what the secret to the show's success is, and he said something along the lines of, "creating an iconic, lovable character who is easily likable and relateable to a wide variety of audiences, and lots of underwear jokes."

Happy Birthday Tom! One of my all-time favorite voice actors!!! While he's most known for Spongebob, he's played such a wide array of characters over the years. Whether they be a total goofball, or creepy as hell!

Happy Birthday, Tom Kenny! He was a big part of my childhood thanks to his performance as SpongeBob and narrator for the original Powerpuff Girls and of course SpongeBob Squarepants; speaking of SB, he's also a hilarious Patchy the Pirate. My other all-time favorite Kenny roles include Ice King, Raimundo Pedrosa, Algonquin C. Lumpus, Slinkman, Plastic Man, the Mayor of Townsville, Spyro the Dragon, Knightbrace, Mumbo Jumbo, Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot, Jake Spidermonkey, and Heffer Wolfe. Oh, so many credits! Prolific doesn't even do this VA justice.

On a side note, Tom and his wife Jill Talley starred in the music video made for The Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight". How's that for retroactive recognition?

You were and still are one of my all-time favourite VA's, ever since I was a kid, Spongebob Squarepants was one of my favourite cartoons growing up and still is (okay season 1 to 3 only but still). The fact that not only he was Spongebob but also Gary, Mr. Squarepants, The French Narrator and even Patchy The Pirate in live action, that's pretty awesome.

Of course he has had so many great roles in so many other greats shows including The Mayor of Townsville and the Narrator on The Powerpuff Girls, Starscream and his Clones, Issac Sumdac, Jetfire, Scrapper, Waspinator, Rattletrap and the Tutor Bot on Transformers Animated, Ice King and Gunther on Adventure Time, Zilius Zox and Anti-Monitor on Green Lantern The Animated Series, Mumbo Jumbo and Fixit on Teen Titans, The Penguin on The Batman, Plastic Man on Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Doctor Octopus, Wizard and Impossible Man in the Loebverse Marvel cartoons, Iron Man, Captain America and MODOK on Superhero Squad Show Nute Gunray and Greedo in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Scoutmaster Lumpus and Slinkman on Camp Lazlo, Eduardo on Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Yancy Fry on Futurama, Dog and Cliff on CatDog, Valhallen on Dexter's Laboratory, Carl Chryniszzwics on Johnny Bravo, Heffer Wolfe on Rocko's Modern Life, Raimundo, Hannibal Roy Bean and Grand Master Dashi on Xiaolin Showdown, Nightstrike on Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Dr. Tyler Rockwell in TMNT, Benjamin Bright on IGPX and Spyro the Dragon.

I also like his takes on Rabbit, Bullwinkle, Boo Boo Bear and Funky Phantom.

I know it's been brought up here before but I really do feel people always underestimate his range and the kind of characters he can play just because he's Spongebob. His darker roles are very impressive and I hope he gets opportunities to voice more characters like that. Of course he's wonderful playing wacky characters too.

I actually rather enjoyed his performance as Ummite in The Laws of Universe, again while I thought the movie was just meh, it was great to hear Tom in an new anime dub. the first time he's been in one in over a decade and his performance as Ummite was actually pretty hilarious. I think the character is one of the better aspects of the movie, so it's not hard to see why he got a nomination for this years BTVA anime awards. It'd be nice to hear him in more anime.....if possible. He tends to be very entertaining when cast in anime.

I also really like his performance as Sumo in Clarence.

and finally Congrats on reaching over a thousand voice credits just a few days before your 54th Birthday.

He was a huge part of my childhood years while watching "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Powerpuff Girls" on saturday mornings. His roles as Spongebob, Gary, The Mayor of Townsville, and the Narrator on all two series have been an delight to listen. :)
